When distinguishing individual trans fatty acids (TFA) isomers, different correlations were found with BMI, depending on sex, with elaidic acid (r = −0.14, p = 0.02, q = 0.05) and linoleic acid (r = −0.15, p = 0.01, q = 0.03) showing significant inverse correlations in women, while trans-α-linolenic acid showed a positive trend in men (r = 0.22, p = 0.01, q = 0.10).
